:A: When you review you are only reviewing 1 keyer. Arbitration is when you review two keyers. Most projects are now review only. I think there may be a few USHMM projects that are arbitration. --[[User:Wiedwoman|Wiedwoman]] 14:47, 22 April 2014 (UTC)<br>

::Adding to Karen's answer... Arbitration notes the differences between two keyers entries and the arbitrator decides if one, or neither, are correct and review is a more experienced contributor who looks at every entry (and field) to ensure the accuracy of the entries. The review entry area looks the same as when keying but the arbitration is very different. (The articles show pictures of each grid.) [[User:Annafechter|Annafechter]] 18:51, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
